hey guys! So i got a speeding ticket of 85km on a 60km zone on september 2009. I got a trail date last year on October 2010. On the day of the court one of the guy had a ticket fighter with him and the ticket fighter took really long on fighting the case to the point where the judge had to shut him up and withdraw the case. Anyways, i was right after him. As soon as i went up and said my name, this is what the judge said to me "Due to that prosecutor needs a lunch break before the next trail, and lack of time i will adjure you to March 2011." So without me even asking for an adjournment i received one. My question is what should i do now for me to increase my chance of winning this case? Can/Should i go in and file 11b? Any help will be great! thanks!

That certainly is a sufficient period of time to request an 11b, assuming the delays were the results of the Crown and/or Courts and not at your request.

October trial date and they adjourned to March?? Wow, backlog! If that was your first scheduled appearance, and this is your second, I agree with Stanton: File the 11B!

Okay so this is what happened last week on the day of my trail. So my second trail was scheduled on March 10th, 2011 at 10 am. When i showed up at 9 30am went up the stair to the courtroom and was checked and asked by the security which court room i was in (he was nice to tell everyone where the each courtrooms are) i told him E5 at 10am and he laughed and said you mean 10 30am because there is no 10am. Anyways he directed me to the courtroom and i looked through the list by the door and my name was not on the list. I started to wonder what is going on, therefore i went to ask the security on this matter and he said to wait for the prosecutor. so i waited 45 mins until 10 30am the prosecutor came and i was first in line, she asked for my name i told explained to her that my name is not on the list then she looked and me and said "then why are you here? i can not help you. you will need to go downstair to room 101 to ask them" then she sent me away. Before i went down to room 101 i checked all the scheduled appearing for the courtroom none had my name on it. I then went down to room 101 waited in line and explained what happened the clark search up my ticket and said i was suppose to be in at 9am that day. Therefore i missed my trail. So i explained to her in more detail on what happened and how i got this new court date. She then passed me two pieces of paper and told me to come in next week any day before 12 pm to reopen my case. Now i am super confused on what i should be doing. I am going in tmr to file the form she gave me. any comments will help!!!! thanks

So basically if you missed your trial you were convicted in abstentia under s. 9.1 of the Provincial Offences Act. Now you have to apply to reopen the case.

Just what happened - that you attended at the time you were told and they told you it was at a different time. Essentially it's an officially induced error.

Okay after 3 hours spent at 1530 markhem this is my update! I waited in like in suite 101 for nearly 40 mins or more, got sent up to the second floor to the intake room and waited there forever! but finally my name was called so i went into one of the intake rooms and spoke to a lady there. On her record it showed that i had three court dates with this ticket but i actually only had 2 (i missed the second one). I explained the situation and how the dates were wrong. She excepted my explanation and reopened my case. Then i waited some more to get a written notice for my trail, which is gonna be 13th October, 2011. So that gives me 7 more months on this ticket. My question is what should i do next? Should i request another disclosure (i filed but never receive my disclosure yet for this ticket)? Also should i be filing 11b? if so, when should i file it? thanks!

The delay between the court date you just missed and you next one is attributable to you so it doesn't count for the purpose of 11(b). Only the time attributable to the crown or the system counts for that.

Make another disclosure request. Make sure you emphasize, in the request, that it is your second request, and also note the date that you submitted your first one. Makes for a more convincing stay argument if the matter comes up.

So heres my case, does it have any validity? Im argueing that the officer did not have a justified view of where and if my car stopped or not, which it did.
This is the officers view of the stop sign i "disobeyed"
Another possible viewpoint, just so i can say that he cant see regardless
As you can see he cannot see the line where i must stop
As close are possible (which he wasnt) to the intersection,…
I need some help to settle a "Right of Way" argument. I know this question has probably been asked a thousand times before, but after doing a search, I was unable to find a posting on the forum, or the specific section in the OHTA relating to it.
Scenario:
Two cars approach an intersection where the east and westbound directions are controlled by stop signs, and the north and southbound…
I was pulled over for doing 123 in an 80 zone on highway 7 near Peterborough. The officer reduced it to 109 in an 80. It was HIGHLY unlikely that I was going 109, let alone 123, so for the merit of it I am taking this to court. Court case mid January.
Please could you help me to decipher the officer's notes. Are there any errors in the notes or on the ticket that you can see?
Ive already done searches, read the act as best i can but still haven't read a complete answer. Where in the HTA does it state that the front license plate must be attached to the front bumper? I have it on the passenger sun visor (if ppl remember the old temp permits that taped to the pass side of windshield) i figured that this spot would be the same. However now they have got rid of…
Was pulled over earlier today for going 95km/h in posted 60km/h, 2nd offense (same cop that pulled me over the first time >.<) ticket of $265. going down dougall toward cabana where it goes from the 80 to 60 zone (yes was over slightly coming in and kept speed)
Just wondering what the best way to handle this? (location: windsor ontario)
I am a bartender and last saturday night while I was working someone backed into my car (2000 Acura Integra) in the prking lot. One of the cooks in the kitchen ran to tell me my car alarm is going off. Immediately I ran outside to discover my driver side mirror smashed on the ground and my driver door dented. There was nobody around to claim responsibility. I had already begun to suspect one…
Scenario regarding speeding charge - if a charge is not reduced at all at roadside, i.e. the charge, for example is "speeding 75 km/h in a 60 km/h zone contrary to s. 128," should that not mean the prosecution needs to prove that you are guilty of what you are being charged with, and not, simply, of speeding generally? I understand that if they prove a charge of even 61 km/h in a 60 km/h, they…
In a nutshell, in York Region, ran a stale yellow, cop was on a 407 off ramp and tickets me for red light. 2 week old pink slip, I forgot I put the new behind the expired one so I got a ticket for that as well.
Had the first court date adjourned because I did not receive disclosure. I used the Ticketcombat template and faxed it over, they told me I never left a phone number. No surprise there, I…
Was stopped in an OPP speed trap on eastbound QEW near Hamilton at 1:30 AM last week (Apr 25th). Officer said I was doing 131 km/h based on radar gun but I thought I was around 120 km/h (I let off the gas and looked at my speedo when I saw the 2 cars on the shoulder). It was a dark stretch and it was not busy but there were a few other cars on the highway. I asked to see the reading but they said…
1) Discovery info includes 3 pages of Genesis radar manual. Officer's notes show he used "Atlantic Laser" to measure speed. Didn't show model # (only s/n). The Genesis was used earlier on in the day, but not for my case. Can I grill him on this or is it simply a clerk's error in sending me the wrong manual?
I got a ticket for an expired licence sticker. The next day I went to the Ministry office to renew my sticker. I thought that I HAD to pay any outstanding tickets BEFORE I was eligible to renew my sticker. The lady at the desk informed me that I had an outstanding balance and 407 bill that I had a to pay and I told her that I was aware of that. I thought everything was cleared.
Last week I was driving though downtown and because of the slippery / wet conditions could not stop when the light was turning yellow to red and slid in to the intersection. I was hit by another car (near the headlamp). None of us were injured, there was significat damge to the cars. The air bags did not deploy.
I was given a ticket that reads : Red Light - fail to stop - H.T.A sect 144 (18) Fine…
I was just wondering if there was any text in the HTA that suggests that when driving on a highway with three lanes going in each direction, drivers should generally always be in the rightmost lane unless they are passing.
At first, I thought 154(b) was what I was looking for, but now I'm not so sure?

Does anybody know how you can check the status of your Demerit Points and how many you have collected over the last two years?
I just received a ticket as I was travelling through Barrie and am debating whether or not to fight it. My decision will be based on whether or not an infraction I received a year ago came with Demerit Points.
I have a question I would like to ask concerning turning right on a red light.
I was approaching on the right turn only lane to the traffic light which turned from amber to red. As soon as the red light came on, there were advance green left turn arrow for the intersection I was for the cars that were traveling right to left and left to right of me. Since there was a lot of traffic from where I…
So I got pulled over for speeding and following too close, on HWY 11 north of Barrie. The airplane caught me! I will fight this as I have fought ALL my tickets and won EVERY ONE of them (one per year... man I need to drive slower). So any thoughts out there on how to fight this one? Does the Crown have to bring the 2 officers in the plane, plus the one in the cruises to court? If 1 in 3 doesn't…
I am new to this forum and before making this post I did some digging and was unable to find anything on this method of officer note taking.
A little back ground of my case:
charged with 25km/h over the posted limit.
After numerous disclosure requests, finally received a detailed disclosure including several pages of the lidar manual and typed officer notes describing the events of my…
My wife was just pulled over for running a yellow light and instead was ticketed for an expired drivers licence. The license expired on her birthdate 4 months ago and she didn;t recieve a renewal. $325 !!!!!!
Hope someone can help. She was ticketed under HTA 32 (1) with the offense shown as
"Drive Motor Vehicle no license"
Can anyone tell me if this is worth the effort to get a reduction in the…
So I got pulled over for supposedly for running a stop sign. The problem is that I did a complete stop, waited a split second and started again. And yes I did stop behind the white line.
He took my information and went back to his car to write me up a ticket, came back and gave me my fine and explained to me the process. He gave me a reduced fine (65$ and ne points).
Someone has an accident in a car worth very little on highway 401 but the car is not drivable (but not in terrible shape), there is a police report filed right away in which no other cars were involved, however the car did strike a guardrail. Is it possible to handle this without involving insurance? Or is a forgone conclusion insurance will be notified by the police?
I made a minor mistake on my disclosure request - I put a "Request Date" of September 10, 2014 instead of 2015. The rest of the form is correct including offense date, fax date, trial date.
Will this affect my disclosure? Do I need to clear it up?
Also, I noticed the Ticket Combat disclosure form has a lot more information than what was posted in on this site. Is it OK to send a second…
